A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw

Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)

Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

___ Particles of which of the following have the greatest thermal energy
abruzzese [7]
Salutations!

<span>___ Particles of which of the following have the greatest thermal energy

Gas is the particle that has the greatest thermal energy. Gas has the greatest thermal energy because the movement between particles is clump. This thermal energy is then converted into kinetic energy.

Thus, your answer is option C.

Hope I helped (:

34. 3.15 mol of an unknown solid is placed into enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. The solution's temperature increases
Digiron [165]

Answer:

ΔH = 2.68kJ/mol

Explanation:

The ΔH of dissolution of a reaction is defined as the heat produced per mole of reaction. We have 3.15 moles of the solid, to find the heat produced we need to use the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is heat of reaction in J,</em>

<em>m is the mass of the solution in g,</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the solution = 4.184J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 11.21°C</em>

The mass of the solution is obtained from the volume and the density as follows:

150.0mL * (1.20g/mL) = 180.0g

Replacing:

q = 180.0g*4.184J/g°C*11.21°C

q = 8442J

q = 8.44kJ when 3.15 moles of the solid react.

The ΔH of the reaction is:

8.44kJ/3.15 mol

= 2.68kJ/mol
